Let's talk about Richard Hammond. The twat.

[Firky]

I bet if it was Clarkson who was in Hospital loads of people here couldn't of given a shit and would of called him a daft twat for doing it. What with him being openly anti-left and pro-car.

 

[i_hate_beckham]

It is like some shit you'd come out with!

I'm not that bad.

They're all openly anti-left and pro car on Top Gear.

I certainly have a soft spot for Clarkson despite his political persona being an anathema to me.

 

[gilroy]

Well if I'm being attacked by two people who're that sharp I must be in trouble.

wasn't attacking, thought you sounded a bit confused so was trying to clarify things, nice to be called sharp though, Iv always seen myself as in between blunt and sharp, serrated if you will.

Im sure Hammond will pull through though, according to one report he was talking to the ambulance guys...

 

[jasoon]

Hope the wee lad is okay and isnt brain damaged or anything. I doubt he'll want come baclk to the show after this and imagine the show will be revamped quite a bit after this

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

you could say that about anyone pushing boundaries of human existance though ...

You could, probably. My point really is that if people choose to do insanely dangerous things, then that's up to them. I'd support their right to do that, it's their life. But if people do do that then the consequences if it goes wrong are their responsibility.

I hope he gets better, but don't expect me to view it as a tragedy if he doesn't. He knew his behaviour was taking risks.

 

[Firky]

Not to the same extent.

"It's pouring down with rain because not enough people have Range Rovers." And other Clarkson great: "to protect the environment I have to get rid of the environmentalists."

He'd make a great troll

I certainly have a soft spot for Clarkson despite his political persona being an anathema to me.

Yeah I do, I quite like him - even his nauseating passion for all things British! He's like Fred Dibnah of the car world.

is pushing the the boundaries of human existance not slightly overstating the role of a top gear presenter?

Ah - that answers my question to Garf:

He said: "We were down there with Top Gear who were filming him trying to break the British land speed record.

kept that attempt a bit quiet, no?

Top Gear in potential land speed record breaking scenario that goes horribly wrong. Dammit

Garf - you're so right with your comments there. I didn't do it on purpose and the implications were what scared me rather than the speed itself.

Don't drive much nowadays - and because of that probably more likely to concentrate on what I'm doing rather than day dreaming and over doing it.

That was quite funny tbf

 

[exosculate]

I think what Garf means is can we prove the acceleration of god!

 

[Teepee]

My thoughts with the family of RH. I hope he fully recovers. Respect to the medical teams.

 

[Pie 1]

Just heard this
Hope the fella's ok - he's good value.

Live by the car, die by the car.

There are few certainties in life - the sun setting in the west being one.
Moronic shit-eating comments like this on U75 threads about famous people dying or being hurt are another. Twat.

Speed Twat Crashes

Good.

I like the guy, but for years the top gear team have been very public advocates of driving fast and irresponsibly.
Now they're an advert for the dangers of driving fast like an irresponsible idiot.

A full and speedy recovery is not in the public interest.

[subversplat]

God there's some rubbish on this thread in places

I hope he's alright. I always thought RH was quite the lefty as far as Top Gear went.

I'm sure he'll be fine anyway, and they'll make a big piss take episode in due course

 

[goldenecitrone]

Crikey. Why couldn't it have been Clarkson. Proof that their really is no g_d.
GWS Hammond.

 

[Kanda]

God there's some rubbish on this thread in places

Quoted for truth. Some proper retarded posts

 

[fear-n-loathing]

Gutted, hope he gets better

Are you being serious?

 

[Wookey]

Oh Pie, It's Urban! Contrariness is our middle name.

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

sorry but i still see land speed records as a human achivement considering thatlessthan 100 years ago it was assumed that anyting above 20 mph would kill you...

you're a right idiot some times you know...

 

[Pie 1]

Yeah, I suppose.
I just find it very childish sometimes - in a way rather than

 

[likesfish]

hope he pulls through not really into cars.
but love top gear

 

[Wookey]

You're right, it is.

Think of your time here as a bit like babysitting.

 

[aqua]

bees told me about this so sad

hope he does get better, and my thoughts to his family too xxx

If i had the chance? I'd drive that car too

 

[Mogden]

Sad news indeed. That Quentin Willson has provided very strange quotes to Sky News. V past tense and almost spooky.

Top Gear website has the most inappropriate banner ad ever. I'm sure there's several but you'll know when you get to the right one.

Even after what's just happened.
